Show us your rig!

Been doing some pedal re-arranging this morning and couldn't help but photograph:

New doom rig.

Just have to dial in the dUg pedal and effects rig and I'm all set.

 

No more amps for this young man.

 What GK model is that?

Oh my god. That is one GAS inducing, beautiful bass. I'm drooling here man.

This weekend after the Sunday night Bandeoke I received glowing compliments for my sound. Not from the sexy barmaid of course but her pasty male sidekick.

Naturally I assumed he was a bass player, and naturally I was correct.

Still, I'll add it to my book of compliments received over my 40 year career (I think this makes it six in total) and very nice it was too.

I glanced back over my shoulder and thought how pathetic the rig actually looked. Anyway he plays an Ampeg tube head through a big old Ampeg cab so take a bow, Barefaced, Harley Benton, and Behringer pedals 🤷🏻‍♂️

That's the rig circled in case you missed it.

What are those GR cabs like (how do they compare to Bergs, etc) and exactly how robust are they on a gig?

Sound wise, it's impeccable. Loud, clear uncoloured and copes with a low B easily. Wiser ears than mine were split comparing it to the LFSYS Monza at a bass bash. It was decided it was slightly scooped in comparison.

 

I've been gigging mine for three years.

 

As Bass Direct told me, don't throw it in a van treat it with the same respect as an instrument. I did break some corners, they sent me free replacements in a more resilient plastic.

three years is a pretty good run for a cab , I was concerned at first on how they might hold up.

What a beautiful Wal.  Is it very old?

[jensenmann]

It´s a MB4 Midi bass, so it must be late 80s to early 90s. What makes it even rarer is the quilted mahogany body without facings.

[Russ]

From this past weekend's gig, my two Maruszczyk Frogs, my Barefaced Big Twin II and my Ashdown RM-800. Not shown - Zoom B6. 

 

The Luminlay blocks on the fretted Frog look great.  

 

[Mudpup]

New all Italian set up. I sold all my other cabs and gigging amps and downsized to something I can use at home but will cope if i decide to start gigging again. (Also wanted a 5er to try and Andertons came up with this Markbass Gloxy at a cracking price)

Here we go!

Here's my rig from the last 10 years plus. 

Pretty sure I got it all from Red Dog in Edinburgh in a couple of installments.

Orange 2x12 600w and 2x10 600w isobaric cabs and a Terror 500 head (complete with band logo replacement for the orange emblem!)

It's a fierce setup - frequently bypassing the PA altogether in small to medium venues!

The bass is my Matt Freeman Squire Precision - may well be going up for sale this year as I've just procured an early 70's precision.....😁

Nice to see an Orange Terror head - I've been using mine for the last 10 years plus, and it's been great - combined with the orange 210 and 212 isobaric cabs (discontinued now, I think.....).

Yours is a 2x12 cab? Looks a nice and portable rig 😁👍

If I need to go light I can carry cab and bass in each hand and the amp over my shoulder 😃
